Spring!

It's finally feeling like spring and things are starting to bloom!  Thank goodness!  But with this spring come so many things... prom is this weekend and we have two kids attending.. dresses, tuxes, flowers, pictures..argh!  Then high school graduation, grad parties..cooking, cleaning, and lot of weeding and gardening!  I will sneak as much studio time in as I can!  I am working on a commission now, but was able to finish a small NYC piece and deliver 3 works to the Hammond Harkins Gallery last week!

Seltzers oil on panel 8" x 8"

"Seltzer"

This is the second painting for my new series, on the shelf, titled, "Seltzer". These seltzer bottles were sitting on top on an old oak buffet with the mirror behind. I love the fuzzy reflection of the pictures on the opposite wall and the red writing on the two bottles.
I learned a lot on the last painting and it made this one much easier. I painted in layers and made sure the background was completed before moving on to the foreground... it was a tough lesson learned when painting the fans cages!!
